So much for routine. This week Andrew decided to change his night-time routine, but forgot to send us the memo. Up and down all night till the wee hours of the morning. Or as Charity puts it "he's adapted to his Daddy's routine".
On the bright side, he's also cooing and smiling and laughing a whole lot more. Compensation, I guess.
Also, Alice & James paid us a visit with Nathan and Evan.
Took Andrew to the pediatrician today for his two month check-up. He was much calmer this time and didn't fuss while they got his weight (13 lbs. 4 oz.) and height (24"). He's doing well and growing fast.
Unfortunately for him, he also had to get some vaccination shots this trip. While he wasn't particularly pleased with the three jabs, he was pretty good about it and quieted down quickly.
Sadly, I didn't take too many pictures this week. Too busy playing with him!
Who came up with the idea of using age for defining baby sizes anyway? 0-3 months, 3-6 months, etc. only works if your baby is normal (I'm assuiming), and Andrew is decidedly not normal. He's currently wearing clothing marked 3-6 months and he's close to outgrowing them.
To make matters worse, it doesn't look like everyone agrees what these age categories are either, so one brand may fit a bit bigger or smaller than another. Wouldn't it have made more sense to measure baby clothes based on length?
The only ones I'd think this kind of size definitions would help would be for people who're buying baby clothes to give as gifts.
And to a certain extent, it feels vaguely judgemental. Is your baby underperforming if they're 8 months and still don't fit in the 6-9 months size? Ridiculous.
It took a while, but Andrew's finally learning to enjoy taking a bath. One big contributing factor is that I've finally figured out the right temperature for the water -- warmer than I'd expected.
Andrew may be a night owl (like me), but he's always perky in the morning (definitely not like me)...
Five things I've learned about Andrew over the past seven weeks (in no particular order):
